We need a Lemmy dictionary so someone can finally clarify what people mean when they say “liberal”
The list will be long, and some item will be contradicting.
Not it is super short. Liberals are people who believe in free market capitalism.
Naw, those are free market capitalists your thinking of.
Liberalism is the ideological backbone of Capitalism. Capitalists are Capital owners, not just supporters of Capitalism.
Liberals are people who believe in free market capitalism.
Is this what passes for bait these days? Shoo, go on, git. Back to your imageboard.
Tell me that you are a troll without telling me that you are a troll.
Shoo! Don’t make me get the broom!
Or, get this, every white person in this meme is a different person, and the last one is completely unrelated to the above ones.
The last white person has original sin because other white people were racist pieces of shits.
How about we stop fighting racism with racism, and instead try to unite against the elites?
Tell me that you dont know shit about critical race theory without telling me that you don’t know shit about critical race theory. Lmao, you can’t be racist against white people because no other group has the means to actually oppress them.
Also, white people benefit from white supremacy which they enforce with systematic racism, hold almost all of the wealth of the country, hold the vast majority of the positions of power, are the least likely to be incarcerated unjustly while are the most likely to incarcerate black and brown people unjustly and tend to vote right wing and right wing policies against marginalized groups. Also they own the most amount of stolen land from native people and refuse to give it back. They are the ones who vote against constructing affordable housing in their neighborhoods to keep marginalized groups away, while they keep enjoying the land that they stole. They refuse to give reparations to marginalized groups. They refuse to give the descendants of slaves the plantation land that they worked on. And they recently voted against ending prison slavery.
Get away of here with you cracker ass reverse racism bullshit. White people as a group are horrible pieces of shit.
That’s a lot of words for just saying “I love being a racist”.
You hate somebody because of their skin color equals being racist, simple as that.
Nice racism, bro. The literal dictionary definition of racism includes against white people. Whether the target is a marginalized group is not relevant whatsoever.
You just wants to be racist but also think you are morally right to be so, and posts like yours only serve the right-wing. Kindly remove your bigot self from Lemmy.
You are so confidently wrong that is funny, honestly.
the systemic oppression of a racial group to the social, economic, and political advantage of another

Edit: It is so funny that white people believe that they can be the victim of racism when they literally created a system that makes that impossible. The system created by them is done to screw all marginalized groups and keep their white asses on top of the global hierarchy
You are so cherrypicking definitions, you think you’re cute.
a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race also : behavior or attitudes that reflect and foster this belief : racial discrimination or prejudice
Hey, that sounds just like you.
You are literally the one cherry picking definitions when systematic racism is the system that we live on, which literally benefits white people. The definition that you are using is literally an outdated definition only used by right wing ideologues when they want to take away any programs or services that help close the gap between whites and non-whites like Affirmative Action because they are “racist”.
You sound like Trump in this video honestly

Criticizing white people as group for creating systematic racism and keeping it alive and voting against marginalized groups doesn’t hold your definition. People like you just hate when white people are called in their bullshit lmao.
I guess that Martin Luther King was a racist for criticizing White Liberals and Black Liberation people were racist for criticizing white people treatment of blacks.
But of course, oppressors always say that the oppressed are racist when they criticize their groups. Just see Zionists say that Arabs are racists for criticizing Israelis lmao.
So gladly remove your ignorant right wing ass from Lemmy. Your policing against minorities won’t be missed. Your bigotry against minority groups won’t be missed. White people will be criticized for the all the bullshit that they have done, do and will keep doing until white supremacy stops existing.
Your are literally only helping keep white supremacy stay alive with your argument.
My definition is the number 1 definition on the dictionary you linked.
And here’s how definitions work:
If you fall under only a single of the definitions, you are as defined. I.e. maybe you don’t have a systemic advantage over me, (neither do I over you, because I don’t live in the US and am a racial minority in the country I live in), you are still racist under the other just as valid definitions. They’re not outdated definitions, they’re official and still very much valid definitions that apply to you, a racist.
I am not helping the right one bit, you are radicalizing the right by spreading hate against people who had nothing to do with building the system, or had anything to do with slavery. Why would anyone listen to a raging lunatic calling them all sorts of slurs? They’ll think “the fuck is wrong this person?”
You are so blinded by hate, and so motivated to “get back at the oppressors” you would attack an entire race over it. Go outside.
Your definition is literally useless and outdated because it doesn’t take into consideration neither power dynamics nor the global systematic racism created by white imperialist countries which has existed for hundreds of years by this point. That is why in critical race theory, which actually studies how race affects groups in a scientific manner, only the second updated definition is used.
You are literally helping the right so much by calling any criticism of the oppressor group as racist. This group literally created a system of oppression that keeps marginalized groups oppressed all over the world and constantly votes for policies that reinforce their supremacy in the system. That is pure right wing ideology.
Bro, you literally don’t understand anything and just keep repeating the same nonesense over and over. It is making my head hurt honestly. Please read on critical race theory and stop spewing nonesense. Once you get yourself educated on power dynamics reach back to me. But meanwhile, please don’t waste my time with ignorant smart ass remarks from someone who doesn’t obviously know anything.
